Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Before ROY NOBLE LEE, C.J., and PRATHER and BLASS, JJ.


PRATHER, Justice, for the Court:

At issue in this medical malpractice suit is the sufficiency of an original complaint filed within the limitation of action period. If the court finds the original complaint insufficient, the issue then becomes whether the amended complaint filed after the statutory period of limitations related back to the time of filing the original complaint so as to be considered as within the limitations of actions period.
